Screw Hallmark - as far as I'm concerned, May 5th was my ideal Mother's Day. No matter what happens next Sunday, I will cherish the day I had, from the scandalously late start to the fortified-with-an-afternoon-nap late ending - perfect! Let me be a little more specific... Saturday night, I shot a SEEN gallery down … Continue reading Done with Mother’s Day

Hand in Hand Run/Walk
Last Sunday I absolved myself for Saturday night's indulgences by participating in the Hand in Hand Run/Walk down in the Hudson Valley. Let me be honest with you, I'll pretty much take any opportunity to visit with friends in the New Paltz area to enjoy some "adults only" time, but the added bonus of a … Continue reading Hand in Hand Run/Walk
Dash is done!
No, not my commitment to an insane schedule - the Delmar Dash 5 miler. This was my first race of the year (!) and the longest run I've had in nearly 3 weeks. And that's longest run out of 2. The weather on the quick drive over, was silly. What was sunny and blue in … Continue reading Dash is done!

I'm not the only one who uses my gloves to catch the drips from my nose during a cold run, am I? Don't leave me hanging out here, runner friends! It's not like I blow my nose with my favorite striped gloves, I save that for the hem of shirt, but in the winter when … Continue reading Gloves are hand tissues and other confessions from a winter runner
I ran (so far away) – 2012 race summary
My goal for 2012 was to run one organized race or run per month and, if we take the number of races I ran and divide them by twelve, I accomplished my mission. As I removed my race numbers from my bulletin board, I arranged them, as any borderline obsessive would, in chronological order and … Continue reading I ran (so far away) – 2012 race summary
